The first tea shop in London. Still there since 1706. Great variety of teas - nice gift to bring from London. Although, some young lady - shop assistant a few months ago was not very attentive on the borderline with rude. Haven't seen her since, though. Otherwise - a great experience. A lovely little corner at the end - with some exhibits, representing the history of the Twinings' beginnings.
The entrance is very tiny, so if you're not aware you can possibly keep on walking without noticing it.
Inside you can find lots of blends and numerous single tea-bags to try if you're undecided. Really worth to stop by, believe me
Exquisite, great service, worth a walk and also to buy the excellent tea.
Fascinating original shop from 1706. Staff were really helpful and knowledgable and all blends can be tasted at the back of the store where they have a lovely little tea museum.
Friendly staff, knowledgable about teas. Easy to mix what you like. Not cheap.
Beautiful, varied, but not very stocked: there was no licorice tea.
The staff was so knowledgeable and kind while my son and I were in. I would certainly visit again.
The best place for tea lovers where you can find every kind of tea and choosing the one you prefer by smelling it. Lovely place that I suggest to everyone.
Beautifully presented with tea and coffee and knowledgeable staff.
Great little shop that's easy to miss if you blink as you walk by. The choice of teas is fantastic, I get my gunpowder green & Ceylon orange here, the small tins of loose tea are very practical. Took a work colleague from Kenya here who was most happy to find loose pure Kenyan tea, definitely put a smile on his face. A good place for visitors to London to pop in and buy the gift sets of teas.
Employees are very nice and knowledgeable. Building is small but it only adds up to the charm. Huge variety of teas.
Too expensive. It is possible to buy everything in a a normal supermarket for a better price.
Earl Grey English breakfast and Red bush made me visit again. Taste each one and say thanks for my selection.
great products. There is some workshop to learn about
The tea items are very complete. The scene teaches you how to taste. If you like Twinings tea, you must step on it.
The shop is a place with history. If you come with prune cold pass you taste some delicious and very well attended and advised. Shopping is very expensive. But it is interesting. Tea in England is a great moment.
traditional shop that certainly deserves a visit especially if you love tea
Great variety of teas available for purchase, however the little museum and tasting corner is not much of an attraction.
Stumbled across this while walking through London
Very charming inside and great selection of teas and coffees.
Very beautiful place, really tasty tea, the service is good, prices are fine.
Love this place, recommended.
In the same place where T was founded more than 3 centuries ago. Small, but if you like tea, you have to go.
So many teas, amazing service from those working inside, and some nice samples as well. If you're a fan of loose leaf there are loads to choose from - and if you're a twinnings fan you'll be in heaven as I was.
You can try any flavor tea before you buy. Service was great!
A really pretty shop. The assistants are very kind. I love this shop!
The original Twinings shop, with a great selection of tea and friendly staff. The museum in the back is small, but full of interesting old tins and artifacts, and the staff are happy to interpret the history of the Twining family and their tea empire!
We had a wonderful time with the tea tasting. Professional staff and traditional location. The amount of teas available is awesome. If you're around just come along. It's definitely worth it.
You can not only buy tea here you can learn about the history of tea and even taste different ones.
A long narrow shop that has been a tea shop for over 200 years.
A classic and beautiful location, in the heart of old London.
This place was amazing, loved the tea bar. Also loved the vast collection! Bought several loose teas to try.
Where you can meet original twinings. Store is small but full of people
The best tea shop I have ever seen! An old shop, a museum of the Twining family.
Amazing customer service and great selection of teas (& coffee!). Not very easy to spot the entrance the first time there though.
Great ICE Tea! Be sure to take the recipe how to do it;) a tiny museum in the store and refreshments tea
This is what you'd expect, loads of different types and flavours of tea, it's a small shop and I reckon it can get very busy with not much room to move which would detract from the experience.
Diacovered it by accident. Almos unbelevable variaty of teas!
Small shop, but has a big variety of Twining teas. You can smell the leaves, have a taste, and there's even a mini museum at the back.
The beat tea store I've ever seen. Always has a huge variety of tea and very kind staff. Also there is a free testing of tea. Every time in London coming back to Twinings.
Being the original Twinings shop from 1706, it has a really vintage feel to it. You can find every available tea, chocolate or coffee flavour in it and more. There are also interesting gift sets and accessories for all your tea needs. The only downside is the premium in price that you will have to pay if you like something in the shop. Since it has so much history, everything in it is priced accordingly.
The Twinings shop is the oroginal Twinings coffee house so is a real piece of history. You can just go in the shop and buy the entire range of tea, but they do offer events and experiences. We did a 2 hour tea tasting and it was great! Informative and delicious., I have a new love for Oolong!!
I came here for a tea tasting. You get to learn about history and tea language. It was a great experience! Highly recommend to come here and get to know a little bit of history.
Shame the quaint basement artefacts room closed off to public now
Pompous place with a bunch of tea. There is an opportunity to taste new varieties, or ask to brew interesting ones. Well, you can sniff for the rest
Great place to buy tea as gifts. It seems like you can find any type of tea that exists, in this little stylish shop. It is quite pricey, but in return you get quality tea.
Head down to the rear of the shop they will brew up any of the teas they offer to allow you a free sampling cup (small) so you know what your getting
Heaven for a tea lover. Every time I go to London I have to stuff my luggage with some Twinings tea. The staff is very kind and available.
Very friendly staff and the the oldest tea shop 17 century
Very kind salespeople, incredible tea variety. And the possibility of having "tea to go" allows you to try a specific product on site.
A beautiful store worth visiting if you like good tea. There are plenty of specialties. While you dress, they offer you small cups of tea for free. You can smell each blend. There are all kinds of specialties you are looking for. Excellent for gifting and gifts.
The best tea shop in the whole UK.. . Rare shop has loose tea, which I prefer rather than tea bags. And this shop has a lot to offer.
Great tasting teas and good store. Old place which creates a good atmosphere. Store is narrow, max 3 people could be double breasted in terms of width. But excellent teas. After 1 pm they do tea tastings as well with a dedicated attendant for that. Professional service and very nice too.
Expensive shop and the oldest in england. U can try tea inside but not like sitting down and contemplate the essence which kinda kills the mood of the experience. Little disapointed to be honest
Essential stop for a trip to London. Really very nice and easy to reach shop. Inside we find all the varieties of their tea and also coffee. If you want you can enjoy a cup directly there. The staff is very courteous despite the shop. both very small and overcrowded people which can sometimes be unnerving. There is also the possibility to buy single tea bags of all different flavors at a very negligible price, needless to say, I stocked them.
Excellent teas, a wide selection and very dessert staff.
Great store to get teas. A small museum and you can try different options before buying.
Fabulous place for tea lovers and also a great gift idea. The staff is very kind and extremely professional - I was amazed by one of the staff members's extensive knowledge about tea. Definitely a thing to visit in London
The shop has many options for to buy. Differents flavours, coffee and biscuits! I recommend!
Very small space. But excellent selection, tastings, and interesting history. Friendly staff who were very helpful. Happy I went!
All the tea lovers around the world, let's gather together!
Small shop that has ALMOST all it can serve I went looking for some infusions and only one was missing from the list, equipped with a very small museum (two three frames) and a tea tasting area. Prices are within the company standard.
They open in time. The aisle is narrow so please be kind to everyone trying to see and smell the different types of tea.
The clerks are kind and gentle.
Best teas, coffee you will find here for certain.
You may try teas in the back, and also check out the museum they have.
The history party could be a bit easier to navigate / a bit more interactive but they let try 3 teas per person which is great if you are in the market for a new tea.
This shop embodies the enjoyment of drinking tea. The shop is hidden opposite the royal court like another time. You can also taste some teas, smell them all and there are even coffee and treats on offer. A great shop!
Smaller than I thought, but still with an impressive selection of tea and coffee. I was looking for tin cans of tea bags, but they seemed to only have loseleaf in the tin. Smells good, though.
